But he HAS shot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue... [View all]
By incarcerating adults and children needlessly he raised the index of morbidity AND MORTALITY significantly for these individuals. There will be “otherwise preventable” illnesses and deaths due to his bigotry and hatred of all things brown. This is tantamount to murder.
Suppose a dentist did not sterilize his or her equipment and instruments or use fresh disposable supplies. There is no question that disease would be propagated widely and certain early death would result at some places in the timeline until he or she was stopped from practice, should that occur. So if you lock up people en masse you’re going to have undiagnosed illnesses, injuries, nutritional issues and worse leading to premature demise of a certain percentage of the incarcerated population and quite possibly their intimates following release.
So yes, he can equivalently shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it. He already did that and worse.
